The veto, of a measure providing $150.7 billion in discretionary spending for the Departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services, was announced as Bush was en route to southern Indiana to deliver an economics speech at which, his spokeswoman said, he would criticize Congress for its "wasteful spending."
This as Tsar George signed a $450 Billion bill for non-war funding for the Pentagon and is soon to be presented with a bill for billions of war funding.
We are approaching $500 Billion for the "war on terror". If one included such factors as the higher cost of oil, lost productivity and interest payments on money borrowed to finance the wars, the real costs would nearly double, to more than $1.5 trillion. (International Daily Herald)
Our kids, our elderly, our health, our laborers are not important.
The tsar charges this Congress as spendthrift needing to remove the pork. This from the man who took us from a balanced budget with surplus to the largest debt in the country's history with things like a Republican Congress that funded a million dollar bridge to nowhere in Alaska?
Oh, and this was all done while he was on his way to give an economics speech in Indiana.
We don't even know if the man can add 2 + 2.
give me a break...
